P-TECH. It's for free, and you get a badge in the end to show off your skills acquired.
Furthermore, Deema offers training through her
CODE FOR GIRLS project.
The
Master the Mainframe contest mentioned is over already, but the learning system is still available. Register under the same link and learn not only Python but many other skills as well.

Attached the recording of the breakout room with Samar and Jeff. Samar showed some basics in the Windows Shell, and Jeff explained the Luhn algorithm from Master the Mainframe as well as showed what he used Python recently for.

Thank you so much Juan Antonio! We were really lucky to get all those panelists for our last session.
Please access the recording of the main room here (at 18:10 we went into the breakout rooms and returned at 28:45):
Recording of AI005 - Get Skilled (Python)
The hands-on sessions in the breakout rooms were quite different again, so make sure to watch both recordings which will be posted separately below. Due to connection issues of some panelists we only have 2 breakout rooms.

Really cool webinar!
I thought that I was a "pro guy" in python... but in this webinar I learned new things that without the fantastic explanation of speakers I would have never thought could be done with python, and most importat, after attend the webinar I finally know how to keep developing my python skills with a focus in IBM mainframes.
I agree that all good things must come to an end, but all great things live on forever so I will be waiting for the next series!

All good things must come to an end. On Saturday, Jan 30th, at 14:00 GMT we will host our 5th and last session of the Artificial Intelligence series. Like last week's, this flight will have a hands on skills session as well.
In this session you will gain the basics of the programming language Python. Along with your questions, we will discuss:
- What is Python being used for?
- How is Python useful in the field of artificial intelligence?
- What can be built using Python?
- How can Python work with the IBM Z mainframe?
Thereafter, we will guide you through some basic Python skills and invite you to try them out yourself during the session.
Join us to learn about Python from these amazing speakers:
Deema Alamer - AI Specialist at IBM Saudi Arabia and Co-Founder of CODE FOR GIRLS
Hammad Yasir - Python Developer/Data Scientist
Samar Baba - IBM Z Developer Advocate at IBM Tunis
Jeffrey Bisti - z/OS Cloud System Architect, Cognitive AI Solutions Architect, Hybrid Cloud Solutions Architect at IBM
Those of you who participated in Master the Mainframe know Jeff from the course "Learning COBOL Programming with VSCode". He is also the mastermind behind the Master the Mainframe challenges.
